Redundant Meetings, Inc.
Meeting 4: Where we spent 4 hours discussing the same topic we've been discussing for weeks, only to reach the same conclusion we reached 4 meetings ago.
Attendees:
- John, who was there for 3 of the previous meetings
- Jane, who was there for 2 of the previous meetings
- Bob, who was there for 1 of the previous meetings, but only because he got lost on the way to his own meeting
Agenda:
- Review last week's discussion
- Re-review last week's discussion
- Review and re-review last week's discussion
- Determine that we still don't have a plan
Action Items:
- Assign someone to create a new document summarizing our lack of progress
- Schedule another meeting to discuss the new document
- Set a deadline for the new document that we'll probably miss
